Design Prompt: Design a 14 page spread based on a piece of Georgia Tech history.
This final project for my graphic design class required a comprehensive application of core graphic design principles, including the strategic use of grid systems, effective utilization of negative space, and intentional design choices. For my visual spread, I chose to explore the historical significance and architectural details of Brittain Dining Hall.

For the design spread below, I wanted to convey the content about Daisy Daniels through a post card. In my original design, I had found a stock photo of a letter and decided the rest of my design based on the photo. In my iteration, I wanted to see if there was a simpler but smarter way to get the essence of the post card.
